A series of airport strikes across Europe have been announced, potentially disrupting travel plans for the next few weeks. These strikes involve air traffic controllers, ground handling staff, and cabin crew in several countries, including Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, and Belgium. The disruptions may result in flight cancellations, delays, and long lines at airports, affecting both domestic and international travelers. In Italy, 33 airports across the mainland and its islands could be affected by strikes starting on September 30. The strikes are led by workers from ENAC, Techno Sky, and ENAV, who are protesting over low wages and poor working conditions. Major airports impacted include Rome Fiumicino and Ciampino, Pisa International, Florence, Milano Malpensa and Linate, Venice Marco Polo, Bologna Guglielmo Marconi, Naples International, and Palermo. These airports handle significant domestic and international traffic, so the disruptions could have wide-reaching effects. In Spain, ground handling staff at Groundforce have been on strike since March, with strikes occurring every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The strikes have resumed at several airports, including Barcelona-El Prat, which reactivated its strike on August 4 due to unresolved issues and worsening working conditions. Other affected airports include Madrid-Barajas, Málaga-Costa del Sol, Alicante-Elche, Valencia, Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, Gran Canaria, Tenerife South, and Fuerteventura. These airports are major hubs for both regional and international flights, especially during peak travel seasons. In France, pilots and cabin crew unions have announced a nationwide five-day strike during the Toussaint school holidays, which run from October 16 to November 2. The strike is in response to a proposed reform of the cumul emploi-retraite system, which affects how workers can combine their salaries with pension benefits. Travelers are advised to check directly with their airlines for updates on cancellations or changes to their schedules. In Portugal, 188 easyJet cabin crew members have voted to strike twice: once from October 2 to 6 and again from December 19 to 23. The strikes are due to disputes over pay and working conditions. These actions could affect around 500 flights from Lisbon, Porto, and Faro. easyJet has said it is trying to minimize the impact on customers by canceling some flights in advance. In Belgium, air traffic controllers at Brussels' Charleroi Airport (BSCA) have been on strike since September 16, with nightly strikes from 10pm to 8am. The strikes are expected to continue until October 10, causing significant flight cancellations and rescheduling. The dispute is over night shift bonuses at Skeyes, the company responsible for air traffic control in Belgium. This ongoing disruption highlights the broader issues affecting aviation workers across the region.
